[comp.sys.m88k] some code available for 88k

newton@cit-vax.Caltech.Edu (Mike Newton) (03/29/90)

This is a copy of the first part of a posting to comp.lang.lisp announcing
the availability of Austin Kyoto Common Lisp (interpreter and compiler) 
for the DG AViiON and maybe other 88k machines.  Readers of comp.sys.m88k 
might find the 'sfasl' code useful for other purposes...

[note : please do _not_ ask me to mail these to you.... i have a thesis due
 soon... .  This software might be useful to other non-88k machines too.
 also,  much more 88k software should be available soon -- mike]

These patches, available as:
	csvax.caltech.edu :: ~ftp/DG/New.AKCL.1.tar
and	csvax.caltech.edu :: ~ftp/DG/New.AKCL.2.tar
are a set of enhancements to AKCL 1-470.

The features include:
1 : The code is ported to the DG AViiON and probably most other 88k machines.
2 : A number of portability problems have been fixed, including:
      Strict ANSI C shifting
      Proper 'varargs' in the MUST_COPY_VA_ARGS macro and elsewhere
      MUCH better (though not perfect!) machine-independent sfasl.c code.
3:  Other small hacks.
4:  A file describing many porting hints.

[the message then goes on to list the various compiler (gcc) alternatives
 (to avoid bugs) and building instructions.]
